Looks like you've made the amavis user's primary group to be your's (or whoever the user group ID 500 is). I'm not quite sure why your amavis user appears to be in the mail group - perhaps you have amavisd-new set up differently to me. Mine is set up according to the guide on the Wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd Hope that helps
